Bluffton High School senior K.J. Ford was selected Thursday to play in this year's Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas.

Ford was one of 40 South Carolina seniors selected to the annual all-star game, which will be held Dec. 21 in Spartanburg. The South Carolina team will face off with a team of 40 North Carolina all-stars in the 77th Shrine Bowl.

Ford is the third Bluffton player to be selected to the Shrine Bowl. Michael Grant and Eric Boyles appeared in the 2011 game.

A defensive end with scholarship offers from North Carolina State, Massachusetts and Georgia Southern, Ford has missed Bluffton's last four games with a broken right ring finger. Coach Ken Cribb said Monday he is hopeful Ford will return for Friday's SCHSL Region 8-AAAA opener at Beaufort.
